Ubisoft takes over publishing Heroes Over Europe

by John Callaham Jul 2nd 2009 @ 6:00PM

It's a game that was in danger of being canceled but now a new publisher has flown in (hehe) to save the day. We are talking about Heroes Over Europe, the WWI action-flying game from developer Transmission Games. Today Ubisoft announced that they are the new publisher of the title and plan to release the game sometime in September.

The game's future was in doubt earlier this year when it was revealed that the developer had not received a payment from its co-publisher Red Mile Entertainment and as such pulled out of their agreement with Red Mile. Atari, the other co-publisher, also decided to terminate its agreement at the same time. Ubisoft' s new publishing deal announcement also came with nine new screenshots from the game that we have added to our gallery.

Gametap adds (and subtracts) PC games to library

by John Callaham Jul 2nd 2009 @ 1:00PM

The PC game download site Gametap updates their library of titles every Thursday and today is no except. This week they are adding the adventure game Runaway: Dream Of The Turtle for their premimum users. Also, the Rebellion-developed action game Rogue Trooper will be free to play via Gametap for the next week.

However the official GameTap blog is reporting some bad news; they are now removing nearly all of the Myst based games from their library of titles. According to the blog the surprise removal of the games was "due to an external conflict between (developer) Cyan Worlds and (publisher) Ubisoft" The one exception is RealMYST, the fully 3D remake of the original game.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood trailer rides out into the frontier

by Steven Wong Jun 25th 2009 @ 6:30PM

Previous Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood trailers have emphasized the firepower players will be able to use to unload onto enemies. In this trailer, the McCall brothers ride... on horseback, in a canoe, or on board a horse drawn carriage. Although they're traveling, they'll be packing heat and taking out enemies as they go. The game is scheduled to release of the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on June 30th.

"Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood transports players from a ravaged Civil War-era Georgia to the Aztec ruins of Mexico. In the wildest West ever depicted, players can embody both McCall brothers in an intense storyline full of greed, lust and lawlessness."
